A STRANGE BED.
The polioeat Budapesth recently dispersed an encampment of sixteen persons who had been driven from their homes by the cholera, and who, having no shelter, had established themselves under canvas near the Danube. Ia the course of their researches after other vagrants, the police made the astonishing discovery that thirty persons of both sexes were lying undressed in a dirty, but warm stream ot water that flowed out of a mill. The water was shallow, aad the poor creature had got into it for warmth. They had taken stones for pillows, and had prepared themselves to spend the night comfortably in this strange bed. Some ef the vagrants stated that they had had no other resting place since the cold weather set in last week.
